The Lowdown
Alright, let’s get into it. Straight up, this is a tough stretch for La Station. The whole 16-day window is basically a write-off for decent surf. I’ve got nothing good to recommend—not a single standout session worth paddling out for. The wind is relentless from the east, rarely giving us a clean face, and the swell is mostly short-period, weak, and poorly directed for this reef.
Water temp is sitting at 84°F, which is bang on average for this time of year, so at least you won’t need a spring suit.
The first week, from Thursday the 6th through to Wednesday the 12th, is all cross-onshore or cross-shore breeze, with swell heights struggling between 3 ft and 5 ft. The period is short—6 to 7 seconds—so the waves are weak and bumpy. Combined energy sits between 120 and 265, which is weak to moderate, but the wind messes up any chance of a clean wave. The best you can say is that the water is warm.
From Thursday the 13th into the second week, the swell actually picks up—heights climb to 8 ft by the 14th and stay there through the 16th, with combined energy hitting strong numbers like 1001 and 1146. But don’t get excited. The wind is still howling from the east at 19–22 mph, blowing cross or cross-onshore, and the period stays short at 8–9 seconds. It’s lumpy, messy, and frankly more suited to kite surfers than paddle surfers. The reef is exposed, but with this much onshore wind, it’s just a washing machine.
Things ease off a little from the 17th onward, but the damage is done. Swell drops back to 4 ft–8 ft, and while the wind lightens slightly, it’s still cross-shore and choppy. Only one session—Monday afternoon the 17th—even gets a marginal score of 1 out of 10, and that’s just questionable tide conditions, not a green light. The rest are all zeros.
Honestly, this is a blank run. The forecast shows no real improvement in the wind direction, and the swell never gets that long-period groundswell that could make La Station shine. It’s a reef that needs a clean NE swell, and we’re not getting it. For a spot that’s normally consistent, this is a dry spell. Could change, but right now, save your energy.

Information about the La Station Surf forecast
The above surf forecast table for La Station provides essential information for determining whether the surfing conditions will be good over the next 16 days. A general guide to surfing at La Station can be found by selecting the local surf guide option on the grey menu. Our La Station surf forecast is unique since it includes wave energy (power) that defines the real feel of the surf rather than just the height or the period. If you surf the same spot (La Station) regularly then make a mental note of the wave energy from the surf forecast table each time you go. Very soon you may start to choose your surf days based on the wave energy alone combined with our forecast of favourable offshore wind conditions. Our star ratings will help here and of course you will also find the usual wave height and period predictions on our surf forecasts as well as a full break down of the swell components under our advanced users option (to reveal that, click the little Einstein character under the tide times).
Further information to help with frequently asked questions about our surf forecast for La Station may be found under the help tab on the top menu and also by moving your mouse over the question marks on the surf forecast table itself. Please always bear in mind that the forecast is for near-shore open water and local factors at each surf break influence the actual breaking wave height, such as the beach / reef profile, water depths offshore and shelter.
La Station is 4 km (2 miles) from Le Moule. If you plan a holiday in Guadeloupe - Grande Terre, look for hotels and other accommodation in Le Moule. Le Moule has rooms for a wide range of budgets as well as car hire and transport links.
